Armored Boar Gunworks is the premier firearms and ammunition retailer in Chilton, Texas, and serves customers in the nearby cities of Waco, Temple, Cameron, Hewitt, and the surrounding Central Texas area. All shotgun purchases at Armored Boar Gunworks are conducted in full compliance with federal and Texas state law, including ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check for every firearm sale. Texas follows all applicable federal regulations governing the purchase and transfer of firearms and related products.
Buyers must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a shotgun from a licensed dealer under federal law and must meet all applicable state and federal eligibility requirements. Texas imposes no state-level waiting period beyond the federal background check process. Texas enacted constitutional carry in 2021, meaning law-abiding residents who are legally permitted to possess a firearm may carry it openly or concealed without a state-issued permit. Short-barreled shotguns with a barrel under 18 inches or an overall length under 26 inches are regulated under the National Firearms Act and require ATF registration, a $200 tax stamp, and approval prior to transfer. Armored Boar Gunworks can assist customers through the NFA process for any regulated configurations.
Texas hunters should consult the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for current regulations on legal shot types, gauges, and loads for dove, quail, turkey, waterfowl, and other game seasons. Lead shot is legal for dove and upland game hunting in Texas, while federal law requires non-toxic shot for all migratory waterfowl hunting statewide. Central Texas dove season is one of the most popular hunting traditions in the region, drawing hunters to the fields and ranch land surrounding Chilton, Waco, and Temple every September. Contact Armored Boar Gunworks for help selecting the right shotgun, choke, or load for your next Texas hunt or defensive application.

Available gauges and options span field hunting, home defense, and clay shooting applications for Texas hunters and shooters at every level. Stop in or browse online to see current inventory across all available brands and configurations.
For Texas dove season, semi-automatic and pump action shotguns in 12 or 20 gauge are the most popular choices, with semi-autos particularly favored for high-volume dove shoots due to their faster cycling and reduced felt recoil over a long day in the field. Over/under and side-by-side configurations are popular among hunters who prefer a classic double-barrel experience for dove and quail. Lead shot is legal for dove hunting in Texas. Always check current Texas Parks and Wildlife Department season dates and bag limits before heading afield.
A pump action shotgun requires the shooter to manually cycle the action by working the fore-end between shots, making it mechanically simple, highly reliable, and compatible with a wide variety of loads from light target shells to heavy magnums. A semi-automatic shotgun uses gas operation or inertia to automatically cycle the action after each shot, enabling faster follow-up shots and reduced felt recoil. Semi-autos can be more sensitive to very light or very heavy loads depending on their operating system, while pump actions handle virtually any load without adjustment.
For Texas turkey hunting, a dedicated turkey shotgun in 12 gauge with a tight extra-full or turkey-specific choke and 3- to 3.5-inch magnum loads is the standard recommendation. Tight patterns at extended ranges are critical for turkeys, and purpose-built turkey chokes deliver significantly better downrange pattern density than standard full chokes. Both pump action and semi-automatic platforms are popular for Texas turkey hunting. Always verify current Texas Parks and Wildlife Department regulations for your specific season and property before heading afield.
Short-barreled shotguns, defined federally as those with a barrel under 18 inches or an overall length under 26 inches, are regulated under the National Firearms Act. They are legal to own in Texas for eligible residents but require ATF registration, a $200 tax stamp, and approval before taking possession. The process typically takes several months. Armored Boar Gunworks can guide customers through the NFA transfer process for any short-barreled shotgun configurations they are interested in.
For Texas dove hunting, an improved cylinder or modified choke is the standard recommendation, covering the typical shot distances encountered in open field and brush country dove hunting. Improved cylinder opens the pattern quickly for closer birds, while modified adds reach for longer crossing shots. Lead shot is legal for dove in Texas. The right load and choke combination for your specific shotgun can be dialed in at the range before the season opens. The staff at Armored Boar Gunworks can help you select the right choke for your platform and hunting application.
The 12 gauge is the most widely recommended gauge for home defense, offering the greatest selection of defensive loads including buckshot and reduced-recoil configurations that deliver effective stopping power at typical indoor distances. The 20 gauge is a practical alternative for shooters who prefer lower recoil while still providing effective terminal performance with quality buckshot loads. The right gauge depends on the shooter’s size, strength, and ability to accurately control the firearm under stress. The staff at Armored Boar Gunworks can help you find the right fit.
